I think enough doubt has been cast on the process to make draconian sanction untenable. I can see a deal coming where Yorkshire dont legally challenge the ECB shit show while expressing disappointment at the outcome saying " 'ow much ???" .Then everyone moves on... in theory , and the ECB mops its brow its stumbled to a conclusion

Racism at Yorkshire CCC
- Thread starter Silly Point
- Start date
But Yorkshire have accepted guilt.
Aye but the process that arrives at fair 'sentence' due to magnitude can still be very much opposed and would fall apart under real scrutiny . Hence , " an arrangement" .
Yeh,think the guilty plea was plea bargaining.
With reluctance i think but its nothing if not a pragmatic county.

From the BBC Sport website today:
‘The CDC are aiming to deliver their written judgements in the cases of six other former Yorkshire players who were charged, including ex-England captain Michael Vaughan, by the end of March - though sanctions will follow at a later date.’
So there will be a verdict this month (academic in YCCC’s case ave they have admitted the charges), but no sentence yet. I can’t see any justification for any further delay. The process itself is bordering on bringing the game into disrepute.

Because as I've said for years they're absolute clowns.
That's insulting to clowns who are harmless and well- intentioned. How the members allow them to be so dictatorial baffles me.

Evidence was inadequate and the way the ECB have conducted this has been even worse. Now it's about time Yorkshire were dealt with

Can't help feeling the process on the whole has been conducted to get to a point where nothing (or the very minimum) comes of it. As we'll see with Yorkshire next...........

Maybe not. These specific allegations weren’t proved, but he has admitted sending inappropriate tweets historically. Depends if the media will employ him I suppose. He was also part of the set up at YCCC who have made admissions.
We shall see I suppose!

I do agree. irrespective of whether or not you think Vaughan said these comments (I do believe he almost certainly did - it ties in exactly with the type of stuff he was saying via social media at the time) it was never going to be proven definitively in a my word against your word scenario from many years ago.

He's absolutely made for GB News. Wonder if they want a cricket correspondent
